Chapter 40: The first day of the bounty [White Devil] Abigail...
Day 1 of the bounty:
Wendy was really disappointed.
She thought that since they were Celestial Dragons, the dropped items would at least be of higher quality... Forget it, just loot what you can.
She stared at the glass cover on the Celestial Dragon's head for a while, then went up and pulled it off, putting it in her backpack to check its properties.
[Glass Head Cover of Celestial Dragon]——
Description: The glass hood of the Draco Chamakh Saint. It has no other use except to disguise the Draco.
Note 1: Can be used together with Tianlong people's clothes.
Note 2: After equipping, the Celestial Dragons and the Navy will become friendly units, but the hatred will double after the equipment is taken off.
Hmm...it feels like a useless thing! Why is she pretending to be a Celestial Dragon? Celestial Dragons can't drop good things, so there's no point in her finding more Celestial Dragons!
Wendy frowned and thought for a moment before finally deciding to pack it up with her clothes and put it away. She'd stockpile it anyway, whether it was useful or not.
What if one day she wants to fight the Celestial Dragons... But why would even the navy become a friendly unit?
Wendy decided not to think about things she couldn't figure out. Anyway, someone would come out to explain the whole situation at the critical moment.
There wasn't anything special on this ship, but there were a lot of gems and a lot of gold that could be found. However, Wendy thought it was just average in terms of richness—not as good as the treasures Doflamingo had gotten for her when she was in the Donquixote family.
Alas, if it weren’t for her friend’s unpredictable temper, she wouldn’t have broken up with him and run away.
There were a lot of things on the boat. Wendy even specially set up a wooden sign, threw out the basic supplies, put the gems and other things in the backpack, clicked on the teleport, and returned to her current base camp - Monkey's house.
But when she returned home, she found that there was one more person in the house.
"Long!" Wendy happily ran over to her acquaintance and circled around him. "You really came to the East China Sea! But why are you here? Are you heading home?"
Seeing her cheerful expression, Long, who had been standing, breathed a sigh of relief and sat down, a faint smile on his face. "No, I came here specifically to see you."
Seeing Wendy looking over in confusion, he slowly narrated, "My companions and I were passing by here and thought we'd stop by to take a look. We saw the Uncertainty Terminal burned down... On our way there, we saw Luffy and the others. We learned you were back, so we came to see... Were you out just now?"
Long was really just passing by, and because this was his hometown, he wanted to come and see if the Kingdom of Goa was still as corrupt as he remembered... Then he found that the Uncertainty Terminal had burned down, and there were three teenagers there helping to evacuate the crowd.
When he heard the youngest child being called "Luffy", he knew that it was his son.
He had no intention of reuniting with his son at this time, only intending to secretly help... Then he heard the blond boy in aristocratic attire crying and shouting: "These people are absolutely crazy! They can kill so many innocent people so casually just for this reason! I feel ashamed and disgusted for having such an identity!"
Then he heard his son comforting him: "It's okay, Sabo! We can be Wendy's children together! Wendy said that before!"
The dragon, who had been shaking up this decadent nation, finally let the child utter such a statement, and seemed to be completely hopeless: [……]
No, he believed that this blond boy was related to Wendy, so what about Luffy? And what about Wendy?
Wendy didn't think that children could be taken at will, and that if they were companions, the children could be shared, right?
But now he understood that Wendy must have returned. Then he went back to her house and found traces of her life... or rather, only traces of Wendy's life were left.
If it weren't for the wooden sign at home that still said "Monchi's House", there would be no problem in just writing "Wendy's House".
Originally, he had no intention of staying, but he found himself feeling uneasy again. This familiar feeling made him realize that Wendy was probably dead again... so he simply sat down and waited for someone at home.
But that situation disappeared later. Seeing Wendy return safely... maybe this was just an illusion? — The dragon, who had no idea that Wendy could now be resurrected from corpses at will, thought so.
Long naturally noticed that this sign was identical to the one Wendy had erected at the Revolutionary Army base. He also remembered Wendy saying it was called a "teleport sign," but he hadn't expected Wendy to appear in front of it instantly... Could this be instant teleportation? Or a Devil Fruit ability? This fruit ability seemed beyond comprehension...
"Well, I was just attacked by a Celestial Dragon ship, and then I went to fight back. I haven't finished packing my stuff yet." Wendy had no idea that big things had happened in the Kingdom of Goa during her absence, nor did she know that she had done something even bigger. As she spoke, she invited Long, "Long, since you're here, help me move my stuff!"
dragon:"……"
It happened again! I understood every word, but when I put them together, they were hard to understand! But could this be referring to...
"...You mean, I can use this wooden sign to go to the place you want to go?" Long asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's only available to me and my friends. Rosinante is dead, and Dover no longer considers me his companion, so now it's just you and me who can use it." Wendy said as she emptied her belongings and took supplies from the refrigerator. She walked over to the wooden sign and selected [Temporary 2]. She then said to Long, "You have to be careful. [Temporary] is Uncle Garp's office, and [Temporary 2] is where we're going. Oh, and you should bring some food. Teleporting consumes your sanity and satiety. There's some in the refrigerator."
After she finished speaking, she disappeared.
Long watched the scene silently, his heart deeply shocked. He slowly walked to the front of the wooden sign and tentatively raised his hand to press on it.
Then, he saw a series of fonts appear in front of him.
[Birth Point], [Monchi House], [Transition 1], [Transition 2], [Transition 3], [Rogue Town], [Temporary], [Temporary 2], [Naval Branch 1], [Revolutionary Army], [Shanks House]...
The shock in Long's heart did not fade away, but intensified.
He hesitated for a moment, then selected [Temporary 2]. Then, a countdown-like chime echoed in his ears. Five chimes later, the world spun around him, and everything around him shifted. Before him appeared… uh, a pile of knocked-down people?
As for the changes in myself... it seems that I have become more mentally exhausted and have a strong sense of hunger.
"Long, you're here!" Wendy was still greeting him. She first stuffed some food into his pocket, then grunted and stuffed things into his backpack, urging him, "Since you're here, please help me move these things! These things only take up one space, but I feel like they might be useful in the future..."
It was already dawn at this time, and Long could see the logo of the ship by looking up - the logo of the World Government.
He remembered what Wendy had said before about the "Celestial Dragon's ship"... He looked around and found that among the group of people lying on the ground, there was one person whose hairstyle did look like a Celestial Dragon... but his clothes had been stripped off, and there was a footprint on his face, making him look very miserable.
Long: “…” Well, this should be the Celestial Dragon escorted by this ship.
Considering this geographical location and recent events...it is very likely that this is the Celestial Dragon who was supposed to appear in the Goa Kingdom for inspection in two days.
Long didn't think Wendy had done anything wrong. As far as he knew, Wendy wouldn't come here to cause trouble on purpose. This Celestial Dragon must have provoked her.
Is this what happened after this... If Wendy was still a Celestial Dragon, this wouldn't be a big deal. But now, if it were to happen, it would probably have serious consequences.
"Wendy, what are you going to do after you move here?" Long asked in a deep voice.
"Hmm?" Wendy tilted her head and thought for a moment. Without hiding anything from her friend, she said affirmatively, "Burn it!"
Anyway, this is just a temporary stop, so we can just burn them all down next.
dragon:"……"
For a moment, he didn't know whether to be relieved that Wendy at least knew to burn the evidence, or to be worried about the fire at the Uncertainty Terminal.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "You do your job, and leave the rest to me."
Wendy was very happy to hear that her little friend was participating in her action. After moving all the things back home, she left them alone. She asked Long to move the remaining things back to her so that she didn't have to make a trip alone. She sorted the boxes at home.
And Long was there helping him clean up the mess.
There were still many slaves captured by the Celestial Dragons on this ship. He released them all and used the small boat on the ship to let them leave - if the Revolutionary Army's ship was nearby, he would also absorb new members... but not now.
He simply told the group what to do if they wanted to rise up in resistance.
As for this ship...it will naturally be burned.
As Long expected, the commotion here had already attracted the attention of the navy. He waited until he saw the navy ship approaching before setting it on fire.
His devil fruit ability is related to wind, so he can use the wind to open up a fire-free zone and use wooden signs to teleport. After he leaves, the fire here will devour everything and no wooden signs will be left.
As for whether the navy coming over would discover him...it didn't matter, he even intended to do so.
As long as they think it was him who did it, there will be no chance of tracking him down and finding Wendy.
After finishing everything, he returned to Monkey's house, where Wendy was packing up her spoils.
Long sighed out of habit before walking over. He had wanted to explain the situation to Wendy, but when he thought of her past, he felt he couldn't interfere with her behavior.
What's more... he was the one who benefited the most. He was already very grateful to Wendy for giving him the map of Mary Geoise, which had allowed him to rescue his captured companions. Now, with the wooden sign...
Although he wouldn't use the wooden sign to go to the Navy, it must be said that this allowed him to come and go freely in the Navy Headquarters. Of course, the premise is that the Navy didn't discover this and wait for the opportunity.
For this reason, Long could only repeat the old saying and remind Wendy of the most important thing: "Wendy, don't tell anyone about the wooden sign... Also, next time you encounter something similar, you must be cautious."
Wendy nodded over there: "I know."
She definitely wouldn't say anything about the wooden sign casually! Look, if Aokiji finds out, he'll tear down her sign. There must be a lot of people like that!
As for caution... she now has the invincible Abigail! When the time comes, the dragon can rely on her strong shoulders when it encounters danger! But I won't talk about this matter anymore, I will quietly surprise my friends when the time comes.
"Rather than that, Dragon, have you met Luffy?" Wendy said excitedly as she pulled out a cleaning broom from a wooden box. "I'll give your backpack a Carrot Mouse skin too! It's the same skin as Luffy's!"
"I've seen him. He's very energetic." Long thought of the three children he had seen before, and curled his lips. He then asked the same question, "Is that child named Sabo a relative of yours, Wendy?"
"No," Wendy shook her head and replied, "But when something happens to his parents, he will be my child."
dragon:"……"
Although there's a high probability that his parents are not good people, isn't this kind of sit-and-wait method a bit wrong?
"They come to play with me almost every day." After Wendy finished changing the skin of Long's backpack, she put away the cleaning broom and asked, "I want to go see them. Do you want to come with me?"
Long came to his senses and shook his head: "I won't go."
Wendy was stunned for a moment: "You haven't seen Luffy yet?"
Regarding this, Long's tone became a little softer: "There will always be a chance to meet. Now is not the time for us to meet."
"You don't want it anymore?" Wendy asked politely, her eyes wide open. "Can you give it to me?"
dragon:"……"
Sometimes, even he felt that Wendy was really difficult to communicate with.
Just as Long was trying hard to explain to Wendy that even the children of companions were not shared, on the other side, in the firelight, the navy finally rescued the unfortunate Saint Chalmarco.
"What a mess..." Aokiji sighed.
Fortunately, he came, otherwise the fire would not have been put out so quickly...
He looked at the ruins burned by the fire, and suddenly his attention was attracted by something. He couldn't help but frowned - if he was not mistaken... that wreckage... was the wreckage of the wooden sign?
At the same time, a bounty order began to be printed in large quantities and spread to various places.
The photo on the bounty warrant was a hand-drawn picture of a white Q-version ghost with a rose on its head.
——【White Devil】Abigail, defied the authority of the World Government, attacked and looted the Celestial Dragons’ ships, stole the Celestial Gold, and had a bounty of 100 million.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I know Abigail's name because Wendy called out Abigail and was heard [Cai Gou]
Not allowing Abigail to kill people directly is a mechanism for the game to protect the player's mental health [dog head]
It's also to protect the game itself... because players might kill everyone... [sunglasses]
